Virtual Server Memory Test

This test indicates the memory usage of the Microsoft Virtual server, and enables administrators to judge whether/not adequate free memory is available on the virtual host.

Target of the test : A Microsoft Virtual Server

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Microsoft Virtual Server being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.
Port	The port at which the specified host listens.
Domain	Specify the Domain within which the virtual guests reside. If the guests belong to a specific domain, an administrative account in that domain can be provided in the Admin User field. On the other hand, if the guests belong to different domains, specify "none" in the DOMAIN field, and specify a local administrator account name in the Admin User field below. Prior to this, you need to ensure that the same local administrator account is available or is explicitly created on each of the virtual machines to be monitored.
Admin User	This test connects to each virtual guest and extracts statistics of interest from every guest. In order to do so, the test must be configured with user privileges that allow a remote connection to the virtual guest from the virtual host. If the virtual guests are within a Domain, then provide a domain administrator account name in the Admin User text box. If the Domain parameter is set to "none", then a local administrator account has to be specified in the Admin User ext box. Prior to this, you need to ensure that the same local administrator account is available or is explicitly created on each of the virtual machines to be monitored. In either case, the eG agent should be able to connect to each guest operating system.
Admin Password	The password of the Admin User needs to be provided here.
Confirm Password	Confirm the Admin Password by retyping it here.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Total memory	Indicates the total amount of physical memory installed.	MB
Memory available	Indicates the amount of physical memory that is currently available for use.	MB	A very low value of this measure is indicative of excessive usage of physical memory by the virtual host.
